The City of Tracy is building a new Aquatic Center for recreational and competitive use. The long-awaited Aquatic Center will be a community facility owned, operated, and programmed by the City of Tracy, offering recreational/competitive areas, swim lessons and more. The City Council ranked amenities in descending order of priority, as funding permits: 1) a 50-meter competition pool; 2) a recreation and warmup pool; 3) a lazy river; 4) water slides; 5) a toddler area; 6) an indoor pool (optional); and 7) a fitness center (optional).
The proposed timeline for the Aquatic Center is as follows. All dates are subject to change based on weather, equipment and material availability or other potential delays.
The Aquatic Center will be built on the northwest corner of Summit Drive and Corral Hollow Road, located in South Tracy.
The goal is to open the Aquatic Center in Fall 2028 (subject to change).
The current project budget is established at $65 million. Most of that budget, $55 million, is funded by Measure V sales tax revenue and a small amount of developer impact fees. An additional $10 million in funding has been committed by a local developer.
The Aquatic Center will be owned and operated by the City of Tracy.
